מלא אות קטנה REISH

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS REISH

 M''B WRITES IN SIMAN 36 REISH :
ויריכה יהיה קצר
ואם עשה רגל הריש קצר כמו יוד די בזה בדיעבד 
WE ALL REMEMBER MB 32/44
:מלא אות קטנה היינו יוד ובקוץ התחתון שלו  
(הקול סופרים  באות ד לכאורה חולק  שהרי מסביר או"ק  היינו עובי קולמס) 
יד אפרים לומד שבמלא או"ק צריך תינוק והמ"ב מביאו  בדף 88 ביאור הלכה  ד"ה כשר וחולק עליו
NOW THE QUESTION IS:
 A REGEL  REISH SHOULDN'T BE TOO FULL KULMUSIM
SIZE OF YUD IS LARGER THEN KULMUS-PROBABLY KULMUS AND HALF

 IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ONE AND A HALF KULMUSIM IS BDIEVED BUT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SHORTER THAN 2 KULMUSIM.

THREE EXPLANATIONS:

 1)the word bdieved means should be longer but not that the os is bdieved after the fact
2)can we explain רגל הריש קצר כמו"רגל" היוד
3)can we explain יריכה יהיה קצר" מגגה"כדי 

 ACCORDING TO 1 KOSHER
ACCORDING TO 2 LECHATCHILA
ACCORDING TO 3 KOSHER BDIEVED
ACCORDING TO YAD EFRAIM -SHALAS TINOK
ומי שרוצה להחמיר כיד אפרים וגם המ"ב  צריך לעשות שני קולמוסים מצומצמים

    My understanding from Rav Friedlander is that according to the MB, a kulmus and a bit is required and the "bit" is literally that, which would be less than a 1/2 kulmus.
    Whether this Reish is kosher according to the MB would require measuring but at first glance it seems very close to just a kulmus.

    Perhaps ask the sofer who wrote these parshiyos, he is still practising and is a very respected older sofer. Since they are his parshiyos, and the person who owns them likely bought them from him because he relies on him and trusts him as a sofer, perhaps he should be given the chance to pasken on this. If you email me privately I can give you his details.

    While according to the MB this is a serious issue, most hold that a kulmus suffices (and if I recall correctly, Rav YM Stern says even a little less than a kulmus suffices) and many poskim are mekel, in which case, the Reish may be kosher and can be extended.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
